Can’t understand the beast inside me
His claws are out, he’s ready for a night on the town
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war
Tapped to his vein he was born this way
He’s on a different level now he’s dancing with the devil
When his beating heart lays awake
It’s my own mind that’s racing
Those drugs will always get the best of me
He’s testing fate to find out what he can take
He will take everything
I am watching through the cage I left him in
I’m expecting nothing good from him
I am watching through the cage I left him in
Not expecting he’d disappear like smoke in the wind
Is it better to stay strong when you were wrong?
Is it better that he is gone when you’ve known all along?
‘Cause unclear opinions stand for indecisions
You might as well run and hide
When his beating heart lays awake
It’s my own mind that’s racing
Those drugs will always get the best of me
He’s testing fate to find out what he can take
He will take everything
Am I the one who set him loose?
I wish I knew what I know now
That moderation is not my hanging noose
I wish I knew what I know now
Instead of figuring it out I got caught staring in the clouds
It feels so incredible and I’ve come to terms
With the addict within himself
I wish I knew what I know now
Many faces to look upon
The show must go on
